The thirteenth season of the animated television series Archer, created by Adam Reed, aired on FXX from August 24 to October 12, 2022.[1]
Synopsis
The Agency has been acquired by the spy conglomerate known as IIA (International Intelligence Agency). As such, Archer and the gang struggle to find their identity while performing odd missions for Fabian Kingsworth, the leader of the IIA.
Production
Archer season 13 was announced on September 28, 2021. This is the first season not to feature Jessica Walter in her role as Malory Archer, who died after recording her voice parts for season 12. The season also features Kayvan Novak's Fabian Kingsworth as a new main cast member, appearing in seven episodes of the eight-episode season, following a recurring role in season 12.[2]
The Agency, the new subsidiary of IIA after the passing of Malory, appears at an industry conference with former international competitors and enemies. While searching for the party room(s), Pam inadvertently uncovers intrigue.
Archer and Lana get called into work on Saturday, forcing them onto a mission neither of them wants because he is hungover, and she must spend the day with her daughter AJ.
Fabian tasks the crew to retrieve the contents of a safety deposit box. As an incentive, a successful mission will result in IIA giving back ownership of the agency with sufficient operations budget for 6 months.
